Exactly, we,ve not had quality half backs for 4 seasons now if we include Pryce and Wheeler with all those injuries. Our service to the centres and wide out second rows is abysmal. Shenton is a good example of that, now back to his best at Castleford................. because err.........they have half backs.

It does raise the question of why it is that we keep producing kids from the Academy who we claim are halfbacks but, er, aren't.

I would not say they are not all halfbacks, but we lost one in Eastmond and smith was not favoured as his organisation was seen as not required with Eastmond in the side, who then promptly left and I beleive Ellis had other issues.

We ended up with no organisers, not no halfbacks.

I thought Meil reminded me of Paleasenia in the head guard.

Worrying given he is one of our wingers.

Must be in there final stage of development ready for superleague, they all end up pushed out wide when introduced to the first team. Foster and Makinson were centres and got used on the wings,Wheeler and Jones were half backs and got used in the centres. Swift was also a half back and got used on the wing.
I seem to remember 6 years ago that Longy mentioned the half backs from the superleague to the academy sides were all technically coached in the same manner so they slot into positions when needed, i get the feeling this has been abandoned, maybe fans with internal knowledge within the club might confirm this.
